i joined your blogring.
i added you..because i read some of your blogs.
i’m a firm believer in my Best Friend (jesus christ)
i actually back slid when i was 12 years–due to depression.
and from abuse from my father, and sexual abuse from my cousin.
and i was getting teased tremendously…when it actually came to a point when i had to turn to cutting to deal with it.
and i used to cry a lot. and i remember sitting on my bed one night, and i did a quick glance at my bible. i finally let all my frustrations out. i took up that bible and i threw it against the wall and i ended up yelling at God. i was so angry at him. i was actually furious. and i made a decision, at 12 years old, to turn my back on god.
from then on, i led a dark dark life. even though i knew God existed, i wasn’t following him. i was involved in things that i knew i shouldn’t have been.
i finally met a guy, andrew, and he helped me come back to God.
even though he was catholic, he had this amazing relationship with Jesus Christ.
i was raised in a born again family, btw.
but i finally came back to God. i urge everyone not to turn your back on God, because it’s so hard to come back to him.
i am 18 years old now, and i still struggle with depression.
but i’ve looked to God in many of these hard times, when i never used to.
i am thankful for God and i don’t really know what could have happened when i didn’t come back to him.
